Method

Place the celery, carrot, onion, bay leaves, peppercorns in a large pan with the water and vinegar and bring to the boil. Add the octopus and cook for 35 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the garlic, chilli, and fennel for 3 - 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, octopus, 1 ½ cup of the octopus stock, the herbs and olives. Simmer for 40 minutes.
